“Technically like a TJ Maxx or Marshall's so you have got to hunt for your treasure. But that also leaves room for finding deals you wouldn't come across elsewhere. My guy friends love the hat selection here. Me and my gf's love the beauty dept. So much to choose from and the ladies there are always helpful.”

The Whiting Pines MiniMart is a great go to for all sorts of quick shop needs, from snacks, to cold drinks, frozen food, eggs, bread, milk, and even household cleaning supplies, as well as first aid, and hygiene supplies, paper towels, toilet paper, wine, beer, liquor, and so much more! They even have a cold beer room for those wanting some cold beer to take home. Not only that but the staff are absolutely top notch! They are the best Exchange system crew I have ever met and are always friendly, helpful, efficient, professional, and have a wonderful demeanor about them all! This is my go to store as a Disabled American Veteran and if you fit any catagory I mentioned above, and have shopping privileges here, this is a great place to make your goto MiniMart! They are conveniently located right off Berryhill Drive and there is plenty of convenient parking available, shopping carts are available if you are buying a lot. I often find myself using a shopping cart there. But even if your needs are small, and just want a candy bar or some beef jerky, or even an ice cream drumstick or popsicle, they also have that too! Don’t miss out on your Navy Exchange shopping privileges and come shop at the Whiting Pines NEX MiniMart and have an excellent experience in keeping within the highest traditions of the Navy Exchange system! Go Navy!!”
“We had an awesome experience at this location with the new manager Virginia, thank you! She's very kind and very helpful. She helped us order something from another store and the other store brought it to this store within a day or two.”
“Definitely struggling, but always massive potential. A lot of very nice gems to find in there. Inadvertently found something I really needed, for a great price. Be forewarned though, as of June 2026, the AC is struggling. I am heat sensitive and I could really freak out in the store during my casual stroll.”
